What is MAPIC?
MAPIC stands for "Le marché international professionnel de l’implantation commerciale et de la distribution" so you can see why it is always abbreviated to MAPIC!! MAPIC Cannes was set up in 1984 to provide a forum for the Shopping and Retail Property market sector to showcase new developments and to discuss shared issues of concern such as taxation, financing and developments in retail marketing. In truth, nowadays it is more of a networking and marketing event, but it does still attract some important Retail Property movers and shakers. MAPIC Cannes is organised by Reed MIDEM and every year a new theme runs through the programme. Recent themes have included incorporating leisure and culture activities into the shopping development and investment in developing markets.

MAPIC Cannes Awards
The MAPIC Cannes Awards is a competition that rewards the finest retailers and retail real estate developments. Each year retail developers submit their projects for review by a panel of industry experts. The winners are determined by a combination of the selection panel and the MAPIC Cannes delegates. The chosen winners are then announced at a gala dinner. The MAPIC Cannes awards categories include Best new retail design concept, Best new shopping centre, Best Outlet centre, Best Urban retail project and Personality of the Year. Past winners include Primark, Vapiano and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet village.

Weather in Cannes in November
If you are planning on visiting MAPIC Cannes 2024, then you will find the weather in Cannes in November to be a very pleasant. During the autumn, the weather in Cannes is typically around 15oC during the day and despite it being the wettest month of the year, there is still only a moderate chance of rain (an average of 7 days a month record any rain).
But the beauty of visiting Cannes in November is that you benefit from glorious powder blue skies and you can still manage to grab a very pleasant walk along the beachfront (Promenade des Croisettes), where you can look out over the Mediterranean to Antibes and Theoule-sur-Mer.
Whilst Cannes is very busy during the MAPIC conference, it is still possible to get reservations in some very good restaurants and you can also benefit from the excellent shopping in Cannes.
